Storytelling is one of the few human features that are truly universal acrossculture and through all of known history.Anthropologists find evidence of folktaleseverywhere in ancient cultures，written in anskrit，Latin,Greek,Chinese，Egyptianand Sumerian.People in societies of all types weave stories，from oral storytellersin huntergatherer tribes to the millions of writers bringing out books，televisionshows and movies.And when a characteristic behavior shows up in so many differentsocieties，researchers pay attention：its roots may tell us something about ourevolutionary past.
To study storytelling，scientists must first define what constitutes a story,andthat can prove tricky.Because there are so many diverse forms,scholars often definestory structure，known as narrative，by explaining what it is not.Expositioncontrasts with narrative by being a simple，straightforward explanation,such as alist of facts or an encyclopedia entry.Another standard approach defines narrativeas a series of causally linked events that unfold over time.A third definition drawson the typical narrative’s subject matter：the interactions of intentionalagents—characters with minds—who possess various motivations.However narrative is defined，people know it when they feel it.Whether fiction ornonfiction，a narrative engages its audience through psychologicalrealism—recognizable emotions and believable interactions among characters.“Everyone has a natural detector for psychological realism，”says RaymondA.Mar,assistant professor of psychology at York University in Toronto.“We can tellwhen something rings false.”But the best stories—those retold through generationsand translated into other languages—do more than simply present a believablepicture.These tales attract their audience，whose emotions can be closely tied tothose of the story’s characters.Such immersion(沉浸)is a state psychologistscall“narrative transport”.Researchers have only begun figuring out the relationsamong the variables that can initiate narrative transport.
